Filter for correcting for fluorescent light in color printing

Abstract

Apparatus for printing images from a liquid crystal display included within an image capture device including a source of fluorescent light; a liquid crystal display responsive to fluorescent light from the source for producing an image captured by the image capture device; a printer which includes photosensitive media which is adapted to be illuminated by the fluorescent light image from the liquid crystal display; and a filter disposed within the printer for correcting color error in the fluorescent light image prior to its illumination of the photosensitive media.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. Apparatus for printing images from a liquid crystal display included within an image capture device, comprising: a) a source of fluorescent light;   b) a liquid crystal display responsive to fluorescent light from the source for producing an image captured by the image capture device;   c) a printer which includes photosensitive media which is adapted to be illuminated by the fluorescent light image from the liquid crystal display; and   d) filtering means disposed within the printer for correcting color error in the fluorescent light image prior to its illumination of the photosensitive media.   
     
     
       2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the color filter corrects the light image to provide a more color balanced image. 
     
     
       3. The apparatus of claim 2 wherein the color filter is a magenta filter. 
     
     
       4. The apparatus of claim 3 wherein the magenta filter is a 60 unit Color Compensating filter.
